A glimpse into a vintage lovers life and style

After boot camp I went home to watch some films, not before filling up my truck with $1.12/litre gas which, I have to say, is shocking...

anyway... home I went... and my boyfriend came over and hmmm, what did he have with him? Why, he had flowers for me!! What a truly swell guy!! which makes me sad for girls, who never get flowers, or anything for that matter, from their "amazing" boyfriends, especially, if your like me, and you love flowers! For real, I use to buy myself flowers because my lying, pathetic, straight up piece of shit ex boyfriend, never bought me flowers... not once... in almost three years... yes, men like that really do exist and it is such a shame, as really they should all be exterminated so the world can be a better place and there will only be left those men who treat their girlfriends like a princess, which is really how it should be... although some men where just not raised right, or have an extreme self love which blinds them and allows them to think that they can do anything they want, no matter how horrible, and have no conscious or bad feelings about it. I pity the woman... or women rather, who end up with that piece of shit, poor excuse of a man.

Anyways.... I got a lovely surprise yesterday, which are now sitting in a vase in my kitchen, cheering up the whole place.

Oh yes, and today is Friday!!! Oh how I long for Friday each day which is not Friday. Work is tedious, unrewarding, not challenging, and a cause of much unneeded stress.... hopefully, one day, I can escape this wretched place, and go where unicorns frolic, chocolate and sweets don't make you fat, there is an abundance of puppies and kittens that never grow older, you can sleep in every day and wake up to waffles and strawberries, and it is sunny and warm everyday.

*sigh*

CRAVE cookies and cupcakes has opened in Edmonton!!
Crave is the yummiest of yummiest cupcake bakeries around... well, in Calgary... and now they have come to Edmonton. Seriously, the line up for this place has been out the door every time I've been!

Fuss you best watch out! Flirt is already 100 x better, and Crave, well, they beat just about everyone! They are bigger, yummier, and the same price!!

Do yourself a favor, and go to Crave, which is oh so conveniently located at: 7929 104 street, right beside Planet Organic.

Every gal, young and old, loves a cupcake. They are just so cute and perfect and scrumptious and girly!! I cant wait to get me some cupcakes! Which, I suppose does not mix so well with working out... but, really, I can't resist.

Mid week update:

... I didn't work out on Monday, for the first time in weeks!!! So i went to the mall, and was rather disappointed, as the mall usually is disappointing...

Then off to boot camp last night... and Zumba!!! Yes, I tried Zumba... and not surprising, it was not my thing... first off, i didn't get a work out from it, didn't break a sweat at all or increase my heart rate...also I don't suppose Im so coordinated and thus will not be doing Zumba again; which I think is just some made up thing anyway, and has weird music accompany it...

Wednesday...thus far... I have done nothing... but sit at my desk and stare at my computer...how very exciting...

well, here's hoping things heat up a bit around here... or before I know it I will be permanently lodged in a boredom coma

i think i am going to start yet another blog... which will not be about me so much and therefore may be a little more exciting....
so keep an eye out for it... although I'm sure I will tell you once I create it so you can all read that one as well.

hope you all had a good weekend....

mine was such as I said it would be on Friday... yoga, gym, candy store, duchess, cuddles... kind of got to sleep in, and exactly one white wine spritzers...this gal needs to get out... and by out, I mean dancing!! Who wants to go dancing with me?!

Went to the gym last night and.... ran 4 miles in 50 minutes!! I, to say the least, am quit pleased with myself!! And then I was very tired, but had to make dinner and watch American Idol....

and then drifted away into a deep and not long enough sleep, because well, it never really is long enough, cause I'm always still tired when I wake up....

anyway... My favorite American Idols are, for the boys- Scotty. And the girls... the girl who sang the foina apple song... I liked her... but dont remember her name.

Thank is all. Today is rather boring and needs to get going quicker....as I am slowly... oh so slowly dying of boredom, and really, its such a painful way to go... and lonely...

like I said... time to get going... back to The Golden Compass, a chilly office with a dreary dry walled encasing, with the occasion smear of bug guts and perhaps a nice juicy grapefruit. ahhh the life of an illegitimate secretary....

my last day of my one month of unlimited boot camp was last night... which makes it how many days...? I don't know... haha

I start my three months of boot camp tonight... but its only twice a week... so Ill have to get some more gym and yoga time in!! I think my chocolate addiction counter acts my working out... although I haven't been eating as much chocolate in the last while... so really I don't know how to explain the lack of losing weight... but at least my heart is healthy... right?

well, whats a gal to do? Listen to Madonna and eat couscous... I think so.

hmmm... well, I really do think its time to spice things up, as they have been getting a little drab lately... but this damn cold weather is holding me back a bit... how can one enjoy a nice refreshing cocktail on the patio, when the patio is covered in snow?! its impossible!
